Unity Programming – Classes Overloading – Intermediate – CSharp

How does classes overloading work in Unity?

Create an ‘Empty Object’ and attack SomeOtherClass.cs

// SomeOtherClass.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class SomeOtherClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        SomeClass myClass = new SomeClass();

        //The specific Add method called will depend on
        //the arguments passed in.
        int mysum = myClass.Add(1, 2);
        string mytext = myClass.Add("Hello ", "World");

        Debug.Log(mysum); // 3
        Debug.Log(mytext); // Hello World
    }

    public class SomeClass
    {
        //The first Add method has a signature of
        //"Add(int, int)". This signature must be unique.
        public int Add(int num1, int num2)
        {
            return num1 + num2;
        }

        //The second Add method has a sugnature of
        //"Add(string, string)". Again, this must be unique.
        public string Add(string str1, string str2)
        {
            return str1 + str2;
        }
    }
}

We have overloading when we call a class that has 2 or more methods with the same name.
In the script: – public int Add(int num1, int num2) – and – public string Add(string str1, string str2)
have the same name but the parameters are different and Unity can recognize them as unique.
